Baby name help !

Me and my boyfriend are expecting our first ( a boy ) February 17! I have been so excited to pick out our sons name and have came up with so many different ones. However , my boyfriend has only come up with the name James. I don't hate the name James but it sounds more of a middle name to Me. He won't pick any other name and I do not want to settle for a name I don't like and I don't want to name him on my own . What is your guys advice ?? How should we compromise ? He's getting the last name and the middle name is after his grandmother who recently passed.

I love the name James. What other names have passed through your mind?

I really like Ian , Cayden , Hudson , Jameson and Ethan . ! I tried compromising with him by suggestion Jameson since it's not something you here all the time and I've been more interested in the "n" endings

I went through this with my boyfriend and my stance was that if he gets the middle and last name it's only fair I have the final say on the first name. I deserve to be a part of the naming process. Especially considering we are the ones doing all the real work at this point. Jameson is a great compromise if you ask me because he could totally still call him James for short. You should like the name too. Don't settle mama!
